1 – 3 Meakin rd Meadowbrook, at the end of the cul-de-sac on the left.  Just around the corner from Logan Hospital.  You can find directions here.

Our purpose built facility in Meadowbrook (Logan) is the only location we have.  We are proudly locally family owned and operated.

Plenty of parking!  We have over 30+ onsite car parks, and ample free street parking to choose from.

The closest train stop to us is Loganlea station. It is about a 20min walk to get from the station to the gym – the perfect warmup!  Alternatively you can get the 580 Bus from Springwood Station, and then it’s a 10 minute walk from the stop at the corner of Ellerslie Rd and Loganlea Rd.

We have fresh, clean, modern bathrooms, for both male and female.

Our showers are fitted with private change cubicles, and general toiletries – body wash, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and female menstruation products.

We have a designated strength and conditioning area. This is a basic set up but has everything you need.  We have squat racks, kettlebells, slant board, and assault bikes.

We are a learning/coaching based gym.  You should check with the staff onsite before using the facilities while classes are running.

It’s generally accepted, but please be mindful that some equipment may not be available depending on what the class is using, or how busy the mat space is at the time.

No experience necessary, everybody has a different start line!

Our classes cater for all levels of experience from beginner to professional.  You can read about our Adult Class Structure Here.

We cater to all fitness levels.  You don’t need to be in peak physical condition to get started.

Martial arts/Combat sports training itself will help improve your strength, flexibility, and endurance over time. In fact, starting at any level is a great way to build your fitness and skill progressively.

If you’re concerned about your current fitness level, talk to the instructor ahead of time so they can guide you on how to pace yourself during the classes.

They’ll likely be able to offer modifications to accommodate your needs while still challenging you.

Remember, consistency is key to improvement.

We don’t have any specific uniform that you’ll need to wear in your first class. The best thing to wear is something comfortable that lets you move freely, and that you don’t mind working up a sweat in!

When you train BJJ or MMA you should not wear anything with zippers or buttons.

In regards to footwear, barefoot is best!

You must have clean feet on the mats at all times.  So it’s best to wear slides or thongs into the gym, and then remove them before getting on the mats.

You must also pop your footwear back on to use the bathroom.

Boxing or wrestling boots that have not been worn outside the gym are also acceptable.

The only thing you’ll need to bring is a water bottle and a towel (and of course yourself!)

We provide all the equipment needed for your first class – gloves and/or shinguards.

Hand wraps are mandatory for ADULT Boxing or Muay Thai, so if you don’t have your own you can purchase them in the gym for $15.

If you are trialling in BJJ or MMA you won’t need any equipment at all.

If you have gear such as Boxing Gloves or Muay Thai/Kickboxing Shin pads feel free to bring them along.

However, any gear you don’t have you’ll be able to borrow from us for your free trial class.

If you do wish to continue training with us you will need to have your own equipment.  You can build this up over time, starting with just Boxing gloves you’re looking at around $60 – $80.

Progressing into a fully equipped training bag with all the equipment you need, this will cost just under $300 for adults and $150 for kids – (approximately, depending on your personal choices).

You can source your equipment from any sports store, but we also sell all the gear you need in our own onsite retail shop.

When you buy equipment from us on the day you sign up you receive a 20% discount.

If you’re not able to buy on day 1, we do offer a 15% discount in your first 7 days.

When you first enter the gym one of our team members will be at the front desk to greet you.

As long as you have booked in for your trial class, they will be expecting you, at least 10-15 minutes before the class starts.

Our staff will help get everything sorted for you, completing a health & safety waiver is the first step, and then equipment and a quick tour of the gym.

Once your class is about to start, they’ll introduce you to your trainer who will look after you from there.

We have classes running throughout the entire day. The easiest way to make sure our schedule works for you is to check out our full schedule here: 

We offer classes for Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ and MMA.

Yes, we encourage this.  Your TFC membership includes unlimited access to all of our classes.

So one day you could train Boxing and BJJ, and that evening or the next day you might choose to train Muay Thai.

This helps to keep training flexible and exciting!

Of course you can! Just make sure to stay hydrated (especially in the warmer months!)

All of our trainers have either fought professionally in the past or are still actively fighting.

Most have both local and international experience.

In addition to that all of our trainers are taught how to teach for different learning styles and skill levels, both in a group setting and one on one.

Our Head Coach, Ben Johnston is a 2x World Muay Thai Champion and former Eternal MMA middleweight champion.  He is now signed to the UFC.

Most definitely! If competing is something you wish to do (whether in Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA or BJJ) we have the pathways and guidance to help get you there.

However, it all comes down to how important it is to you.

If you’re willing to put in the time and effort to get comp ready, we have the resources to get you into your first fight.

There’s a lot of factors that go into answering this question.

Your consistency, attitude and skill level all play a factor.

Combat sports takes time, and the more reps you can get in, the less time it’ll take.

A general guideline for a person who meets all the pre requisites is roughly 12-18 months.

However, we have an in-house pathway where you can test the waters and fight as part of a TFC Fight Camp in a exhibition match, OR you can compete in BJJ competitions generally within 3 months.

For sure!  There’s a reason why Boxers, Thai fighters, and MMA athletes are in such good shape… it comes with the territory!

So instead of running on the ‘dreadmill’, you can learn a life long skill and get fit in the process.

Not at all.  While we treat everyone who comes through our doors as if they want to be a fighter (which allows us to emphasise technique and skill progression) you don’t have to step into the ring to train with us.

The majority of our members train as a hobby, for fitness or self defence, building confidence, or maintaining discipline in their life choices.

Our kids classes start from 6yo and trains through to 12yo.

Between 10-12yo we begin to move kids up into the teens classes.

From 14 years and up kids can then choose to train in the teens only classes or the open classes with the adults.

Our teens classes start from 12yo to 16yo.

However, depending on your child’s size and skill level, they may be able to train in the adults classes right away if that’s something they’re comfortable doing.  Typically from around 14yo.

We offer kids/teens classes for Boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ.

Our kids and teens program is designed to give students a solid foundation of combat sports.

We teach all round ‘striking’ for the stand up sports of Boxing & Muay Thai, alternating the focus between the two throughout the week.

In BJJ they learn a wrestling style as well as traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Kids/Teens can choose what to train day to day, either ‘striking’ or ‘BJJ’.

Our main goal is to help support a healthy learning environment where kids/teens feel safe to learn and grow from their mistakes, build confidence, and develop a love for combat sports.

You can check out our full kids/teens schedule here:

It’s completely understandable to be concerned about how learning self-defense or fighting techniques might impact your child, especially in a school setting.

It’s important to consider the context in which your child is learning these skills.

At TFC kids will learn discipline, respect, self-control, and conflict resolution as much as physical techniques.

The goal is not to encourage fighting, but to provide your child with the confidence and tools to de-escalate situations before they turn physical.

Learning martial arts can provide your child with the skills needed to protect themselves – but more importantly it builds confidence, which is the most important thing when it comes to the prevention of bullying.

Bullying thrives on situations where the child feels insecure or isolated.

Through martial arts children not only build confidence, but also assertiveness and emotional intelligence.

Yes. Our boxing classes are beginner friendly and focus on fundamentals first.

No. Sparring is optional and not required to enjoy or benefit from boxing training.

Comfortable gym clothes, boxing gloves, and hand wraps. Gloves can be borrowed initially.

No. BJJ is designed to work for all body types and fitness levels.

A t-shirt and shorts are fine for your first class. A gi is not required initially.

Yes. Classes are controlled and supervised, with a strong emphasis on tapping and injury prevention.

Yes. Our kickboxing classes are suitable for all levels and are a great introduction to striking.

Comfortable gym clothes and boxing gloves. Shin guards are recommended but not required for beginners.

Sparring is optional and only introduced when you’re ready.

Absolutely. It’s one of the best workouts for cardio, coordination, and mental release.

Boxing is among one of the safest contact sports available to children.  It primarily teaches offensive and defensive patterns that centre around footwork for distance, range and evasion techniques.

At The Fight Centre we do not allow any head contact for Kids Boxing, and our classes are well staffed.

Kids will train with peers of equal size, age and ability.  Even in competitive Kids Boxing events there is a referee tempering the pace of the fight, gloves with more padding used, as well as headgear and groin guards, plus a medical doctor sitting ringside at all times.

Despite the bad press Boxing can sometimes receive, it is a well governed Olympic level support, and as long as the gyms training under these conditions adhere to the safety requirements set by Boxing Australia/Boxing QLD, then we are confident in saying kids Boxing is safe.

The Kids Boxing coaches at TFC are either active or retired fighters.  Between them, they hold generations worth of real-world experience!

Alongside their fight experience, all of our lead trainers are fitness industry qualified, and are certified annually in CPR and hold their current First Aid.

Additionally, we invest a lot into the ongoing training and up-skilling of all of our staff/coaches, with on the job development and mentorship.

Kids Boxing at The Fight Centre is taught as part of our Kids Striking program.

Kids who learn martial arts at TFC, learn the stand up striking sports of Boxing & Muay Thai, and have the option of also learning Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Kids BJJ).

The fees include the cost for the entire program, and you can look at those membership options here.

For kids we have a 2 class pass, as well as an unlimited option, the fees range from approximately $47 – $57 per week on weekly direct debit.

Other fee options are also available, but this gives you somewhat of a price guide.  Associated costs include equipment purchases.

Active competition is a personal choice for each student and their families.  We do not encourage it until 14 years old or above – we believe this is best practice for kids overall mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Competition can often present unnecessarily high pressure environments, unlike a regular field of play for team sports, in Boxing it is a stage for one athlete only, and all the lights and attention are on them.

We prefer to gradually prepare kids for competition over time, in smaller more friendly environments, in-house exhibitions and inter-club sparring events.

BJJ requires a mouthguard for ‘rolls’ (live grappling with an opponent).

When training in a Gi class or grading in BJJ, all students must wear a Gi (the traditional BJJ jacket, belt and pants).

You can purchase Gi from our online store or over the counter in the gym.

On No Gi training days, kids must wear form fitting clothing with no hardware (zips, buttons or drawstrings with hard ends etc).  A rashie and shorts is typically worn to a No Gi training session.

BJJ is a great place to start!  It can often feel like play fighting, rough and tumble wrestling that they may have experienced with siblings or parents at home.

Or for some kids, who haven’t been able to experience this, BJJ gives them the opportunity to do so.

For many kids who have not been a part of other sports before, BJJ offers a less visible way to build up their skills and test boundaries, that doesn’t ask them to be the fastest, biggest or the strongest on the playing field.

Yes, there are plenty of great local competitions that our kids compete in, and competition is encouraged, it gives them something to work towards and test their skills.

Learning to fail fast is a key skill in BJJ.  Our coaches will let you know when they feel it’s time for your child to compete, but if for any reason you haven’t got this information, definitely bring it to our attention anytime.

Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at The Fight Centre, is part of our kids training program that includes the stand up sports of Boxing and Muay Thai (Kids Striking.)

We encourage kids to mix up their training between these classes.  So some days they may train Striking and others Kids BJJ.

If your child is focusing only on Kids BJJ, and maybe you’ll switch it up over the course of the year then we would encourage training 2 – 3 times per week.

Kids BJJ classes at TFC currently runs Monday through Friday, you can see the most up to date timetable here.

Our kids classes start from 6yo and trains through to 12yo.

Between 10-12yo we begin to move kids up into the teens classes.

From 14 years and up kids can then choose to train in the teens only classes or the open classes with the adults.

No experience required.  We have many kids in the gym who start never having participated in any other sport, and then we have some kids who use this training to compliment the competitive sports they are a part of.

In stand up (Boxing/Muay Thai) – range, distance, rhythm, offensive/defensive patterns, while on the ground in BJJ – wrestling, grappling, submissions.  You can read about each of the sports that we teach under that specific sport.

All of the kids training will help with their self defence and confidence, as well as coordination and their mind to body connection.

We also find that their organisational skills improve with the responsibility of managing their time across school, home and the gym.

Yes, parents are welcome to observe, however video and photos of the kids in class are strictly prohibited.

Parents are also not allowed on the mats and we ask that you please do not instruct or speak to the kids while they are in class.

Muay Thai in Australia has substantial safety parameters built into the rules of the sport and governed by Muay Thai Queensland, under the umbrella of Muay Thai Australia.  These rules have evolved over time to ensure the sport is safe for everyone.

At TFC we teach kids Muay Thai in line with these competition rules, because they are best practise for safety!

Things like no head contact under 12 years old, the use of head gear and body padding and shin guards, as well as a limit on the types of strikes permitted.  All of this is to ensure that kids can not only learn, but also enjoy the sport as they grow.

Comfortable sport/recreational clothes – shorts are preferred, but if long pants must be worn then they should be a type of legging or compression garment, and not something like sweatpants or trackpants.

It’s important that when learning Muay Thai kids have a full range of movement.

Generally any clothes that they are comfortable playing and jumping around in are fine.

School uniforms are not allowed on the mats, and training clothes should be fresh and clean for the day.

Sparring – a simulated fight, is a key element to Kids Muay Thai training.  It allows them to put into practice the skills that they are learning, while in a safe and supervised environment.

Of course, it is always optional, and no kids will be forced into sparring before they are ready.

Kids Muay Thai sparring at TFC is scheduled to a designated day of the week, which often ends up becoming one of the kids favourite sessions.  No pressure, lots of fun, trying out new things they’ve learned and helping their peers along the way.

Alongside the skills they learn for the sport, as well as improving their fitness and overall mobility and body to brain connection, Muay Thai in particular supports a deeper respect for self and others, it’s an ancient art, and the culture is built into it.

Confidence grows and we often see kids becoming calmer the more often they train, developing their capability to emotionally regulate on their own, even while in high stress situations.

A minimum of 2 training sessions per week, and as they progress you may want to include a 3rd class – generally a sparring session.

Consistency always wins over volume.  Just like most things, fitting their training into their overall routine will garner greater learning benefits over time.

Unlike other sports that are seasonal and have deadlines for game days etc, families whose kids train Muay Thai can adjust their learning schedule to accommodate their lifestyle, making it far less restrictive.

We encourage you to focus on what you want to learn and achieve rather than focusing on any possible limitations.  Leave the teaching up to us, and we’ll make sure that you learn what you came to learn.  So pick the sport you want to start with and take it from there.

Absolutely not!  We know lots of people think this way.  Some people imagine that a fight gym is just full of fit people who they can’t keep up with, but that’s really not the case.  We have all levels at all times.

Fitness is a by-product of committing to a training that you enjoy, so find something you enjoy first.

There are so many different kinds of ‘fit’, and when it comes to fighting, combat sports or any traditional martial arts, even the most conditioned track athlete is often unprepared for the type of fitness required when you need to attack and defend all at the same time.

It’s just a different type of fitness that you won’t achieve without getting started and building it up slowly.

Almost everyone feels nervous when they visit us at The Fight Centre for the first time, even if they’ve trained before.

Walking into somewhere new can often trigger the nerves.  If you wait until you’re not nervous, you’ll never start.

TFC is a supportive and welcoming environment, and to help with your nerves we do our best to let you know exactly what’s happening at all times, and that you always have one of our staff on site looking after you on your first session.

You’re not tied into learning any one sport, and we encourage you to mix up your training based on your own personal goals – whether that’s fitness, fat loss, self defence, confidence or the million other things that people come to train for.

You might come in and train Muay Thai to start, and then one day the Boxing timetable might work better for you, so you do a Boxing class instead.

What’s most important is that you remain consistent and keep moving towards your own personal training goals.

No experience necessary.  Our MMA classes cater to beginners through to advanced athletes, with coaches adapting drills and intensity to your level.

You will find training partners from every level in each class.

We have adapted our own unique MMA training system, which you will learn all about when you start training with us.

Comfortable, clean gym attire, that allows you to have a full range of movement.  No zippers or buttons for safety reasons.  Check out our full FAQ section here to learn more about what clothing and footwear is suitable, and other protocol around what to wear at TFC.

Yes. Safety is a priority at TFC. Classes are structured, supervised, and focused on correct technique before intensity.

We maintain a strict 1:20 trainer ratio, allowing for experienced eyes on you at all times.

Classes typically include a warm-up, striking and grappling drills, technique development, and controlled partner work.

Absolutely.  As with all of our other sports at TFC, most members train MMA for fitness, confidence, and skill development. Competition is ALWAYS optional.

Morning classes are perfect for early risers, shift workers, and anyone wanting to train before work.

The structure is similar, with a strong focus on technique, pad work, and conditioning — just earlier in the day.

No. All experience levels are welcome.

Something light such as a banana or coffee is fine, but you can always train before eating, just stay hydrated.

Yes. It’s an excellent full-body workout that burns calories and builds conditioning.

Yes.  Of all the sports we teach, Muay Thai classes are the most suitable for beginners.

Comfortable training clothes that allow you to have a full range of motion in your arms and legs.  Bring a towel and a water bottle of course, and we can provide the Gloves and shin guards for your first lesson.

You can come straight off the couch and onto the mats.  Training Muay Thai will gradually and purposefully, build your fitness over time.

You can spar when you feel ready, and the class drills will help guide you towards this.  But first, beginners focus on technique, pad work, and conditioning.

2–3 sessions per week is ideal for beginners.  When you’re starting out, consistency is more important than volume, so work towards building a training schedule that you can maintain.

Yes. This class focuses on fundamentals and is perfect if you’re new to Muay Thai.

No. Muay Thai Basics is structured specifically for beginners.

Basic stance, footwork, punches, kicks, knees, and defensive movements.

No. Fitness improves as you train.

Most members train here for several weeks before moving into general classes.

Boxing is a great place to start for teens who might be nervous about training combat sports for the first time.

We find that lots of teens who are new to martial arts  feel more comfortable starting with Boxing, as they feel awkward with all the kicking and other strikes in Muay Thai; but once they get comfortable training in the gym we see teens try all the sports!

Of course some teens just love Boxing and choose to stick with it as their sport of choice, which is also totally fine.

When you are training Boxing there is always the risk that you’ll cop a punch to the face, but during a Boxing class the risk is generally very low due to the types of drills and instruction you are getting.

When you start training at The Fight Centre for Boxing, you will need a 10oz – 12oz Boxing glove for your day to day class work; once you start sparring you will need a 16oz glove.

It doesn’t matter what brand your glove is, only that it is in good enough condition with adequate padding to protect your hands and any partners you work with during class.

The padding inside of Boxing gloves can deteriorate over time, so if you pick up a pair of gloves that you’ve had lying around the house for a while they may not be suitable for class.

Just check with the team when you come in to train.

Teens Boxing classes at TFC are an hour long.  The class always starts with a warm up – usually skipping ropes and/or shadow boxing.

After the warm up the coach will demonstrate the technique you’re going to learn in the class, and you’ll learn the technique through breaking it down over different drills with a partner.

This could be done in direct partner work, pad work with a partner or in a team on the heavy bags.

Coaches will move around the class through out to check on you and correct if needed.  Coaches will also routinely adjust any class content for some students when needed.

Usually the class will also end with some fitness conditioning.

Yes, our teens BJJ classes are beginner friendly, and we keep a good teacher to student ratio, with one head coach and 1 assistant depending on the numbers in the class.

Often we will split the beginners away to one side of the class so that they can receive more specific instruction to their training level.

The teens BJJ class at The Fight Centre specifically is designed to fit in well with the rest of our teens program, so the trainers designated to this class are well equipped to work with teens that are new to the sport.

BJJ is a grappling sport that takes place on the ground as two opponents attempt to put each other into a submission to complete the match.  Without the submission, points can also be gained from different techniques executed during the match.

In wrestling there is a lot of stand up grappling, and each opponent tries to ‘take down’ the other and pin them for 3 seconds, where both shoulders of your opponent need to be on the mat for 3 seconds.

People that compete in either BJJ or Wrestling often cross-train both, and in our teens BJJ class you will learn valuable techniques for both sports.

Teens who are fans of the UFC, or other popular MMA promotions, will be familiar with how often BJJ is used by athletes in a MMA cage.

At TFC we teach specific MMA grappling classes, but any student who wants to compete in MMA should be training all stand up striking sports and grappling sports.

You will see on our timetable that BJJ classes are dedicated either Gi or No Gi classes.  If you do not have a Gi or do not wish to train Gi, then you would only attend the No Gi classes.

However, a BJJ Gi is required to grade in BJJ, so to attend grading and to be eligible to grade you must be wearing a Gi.

We have our own TFC branded BJJ Gi that you can find in our online store here.

Teens Muay Thai at TFC is an hour long class.  Students are expected to be on the mat ready to go at 4pm to bow into class.

Being ready means you are in clean, fresh training clothes (no school or work uniforms).  You have clean, bare feet and your training bag and shoes are stored away in the bag bays.

You should have your required equipment for class on the edge of the mats, or behind the boxing bags, ready to go for when your coach tells you it’s time to put them on – Boxing gloves, Shin guards, and if it’s a sparring day you’ll also need your mouthguard (sparring is optional).

The class structure itself will include:

– Bowing in

– Structured warm up

– Guided instruction from your coaches for partner drills, bag drills, kick pads, mitts or a combination of all of the above

– You’ll be instructed and corrected if needed throughout the teaching of the technique

– You’ll bow out of class at the end

This is a loose guideline, and specific drills change from day to day and week to week with the curriculum.

Fighting is always optional and self nominated.  Unless you tell us you want to train to compete, we will not suggest that you start fighting.  It’s a big commitment, and we don’t want teens to feel any pressure to jump in the ring or cage.

If fighting is something you want to explore or pursue down the track, you can train Muay Thai in the teens classes, move up to train in the adults classes, and join in with larger sparring events, slowly you’ll figure out on your own if you want to give competing a go.

If/when you decide, be sure to let one of the TFC coaches/staff know.  You can learn more about the training pathways here.

Having a 3rd space, outside of school and home that they can can make their own can be super helpful for teenagers as they grow into an identity that best serves their personal goals and potential.

Of course, their physical health will improve with fitness and mind/body connection, helping to support their self confidence, discipline, and the coping mechanisms they use for stress relief.

Many teens move into the adults classes fairly quickly from 14yrs and up, but lots of these kids will still come and train in the teens as well, taking comfort from building a community within their own peer group.

Teens classes are best suited to ages 12yrs – 16yrs max.

The minimum requirements for a teens Muay Thai class is shin guards, hand wraps, and 10 or 12oz Boxing gloves.  The cost of this depends on your personal preferences, but a ball park figure is around $180 – $200.

Sparring gloves (16oz) and a mouthguard, can be purchased later when you’re ready to spar.  In your first week at TFC equipment hire for classes (not sparring) is free for your first week.

You do receive a 20% discount on your first day, and a 15% discount on all equipment in your first week/fortnight.  We stock a full range of everything you need, just chat to one of the team!
